Cross-interaction of volatiles in fast co-pyrolysis of waste tyre and corn stover via TG-FTIR and rapid infrared heating techniques.

Using fast infrared heating technology to minimize the pyrolysis temperature differential and optimizing secondary reactions is advantageous for studying co-pyrolysis behaviors. In this study, the co-pyrolysis behaviors of waste tyres (WT) and corn stover (CS), including product distribution, pyrolysis kinetics, and thermodynamics, were studied using TGA-FTIR analysis and fast infrared heating reactor. The DTG curves for the co-pyrolysis of WT and CS significantly differed from the calculated values, implying that the pyrolysis intermediates produced by CS during the pyrolysis process may have synergetic effects with the pyrolysis of WT.
